借鉴哈罗德·布鲁克菲尔德关于热带农业集约化和非集约化的开创性干预措施，本文认为，东南亚农村地区的贫困和生计正在与农业和农业资源脱钩。这往往是由生活方式和生活观的改变而不是经济和环境的需要所驱动的。该文件提出，农业正在失去对农村贫困人口的共鸣和意义。东南亚农村新出现的变化模式被用来构建一个农业转型的一般框架，目前的多元化趋势可能会被农业企业家、新东亚人和残余小农的混合景观所取代。本文最后反思了这一轨迹对理解农村贫困和扶贫干预措施的影响。
Drawing on Harold Brookfield's seminal interventions on intensification and disintensifi- cation in tropical agriculture, the paper argues that a de-linking of poverty and livelihoods in rural areas from farming and agricultural resources is occurring in rural South-East Asia. This is often driven as much by changes in lifestyles and life views than by economic and environmental imperatives. The paper proposes that farming is in the process of losing its resonance and significance for the rural poor. Emerging patterns of change in the South-East Asian countryside are used to construct a generalised framework of agrarian transition where the current trend towards pluriactivity is likely to be replaced by a mixed landscape of agrarian entrepreneurs, neopeasants and remnant smallholders. The paper concludes by reflecting on the implications of this trajectory for understanding poverty and pro-poor interventions in the countryside.
